Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a daily challenge that affects comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Finding effective, easy-to-use solutions is critical for people living with this condition. A recent study on CLn BodyWash revealed meaningful improvements in how participants felt and managed their HS symptoms over time. Here’s how this gentle, dermatologist-recommended cleanser is making a difference.
How Was the CLn BodyWash Study Structured?
The study tracked the experiences of 145 participants using CLn BodyWash daily for four weeks. Participants completed surveys at baseline, two weeks, and four weeks, reporting on symptom severity and flare patterns. These were individuals from all backgrounds and HS stages; some had just a year of experience with the condition, while others had lived with it for decades.
Their feedback helped researchers understand how CLn BodyWash performs outside of a clinical setting and in real life.
Real-world Efficacy of Sodium Hypochlorite Body Wash in Managing Hidradenitis Suppurativa
What Kind of Improvements Did Participants See?
The study tracked six of the most common Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) symptoms: pain, swelling, redness, drainage, itching, and odor using a scale of 1-5 (1= mild, 5 = very severe). After four weeks of use, participants reported noticeable changes in all categories:
-
Swelling: Reduced from 4.61 to 2.95 (1.66 reduction)
-
Pain: Reduced from 4.53 to 2.62 (1.91 reduction)
-
Redness: Reduced from 4.28 to 2.77 (1.51 reduction)
-
Drainage: Reduced from 4.15 to 2.76 (1.39 reduction)
-
Itching: Reduced from 4.04 to 2.71 (1.33 reduction)
-
Odor: Reduced from 3.54 to 2.26 (1.28 reduction)
These improvements represent reduced discomfort, fewer interruptions to daily life, and better emotional well-being for people managing HS.
What Is the “Dab Method” and Why Did Participants Use It?
One of the study's most surprising findings was the success of the “Dab Method.” Rather than just using CLn BodyWash in the shower, participants applied it directly to problem areas and left it on for extended periods up to 24 hours.
-
At two weeks, 75% had tried the Dab Method, and 85% said they’d continue using it.
-
At four weeks, 67% still found it helpful and would recommend it to others.
This shows how adaptable CLn BodyWash is, not just a wash, but a flexible part of a personalized skin care strategy.
Did the BodyWash Help With Flares?
Yes. A majority of participants saw a reduction in how often they experienced flares and how long they lasted:
-
63% reported fewer flares by Week 4
-
62% reported shorter flares by Week 4
Even minor flare frequency or duration improvements can significantly impact overall comfort for a chronic condition like HS.
What Did People Say About Their Experience?
When asked if they would recommend CLn BodyWash to others with HS, nearly 89% said yes. That positive response highlights the product's effectiveness and trust as a long-term part of managing a complex condition.
Why CLn BodyWash Stands Out
CLn BodyWash is formulated with sodium hypochlorite, a key ingredient for cleansing without stripping or irritating the skin barrier. It’s free of fragrance and designed for sensitive skin, making it well-suited for people managing HS or similar chronic skin conditions.
Unlike more intensive treatments, it’s a gentle and accessible product that fits daily routines. For people who may have tried harsh products or prescriptions without success, CLn offers a more balanced and supportive option.
